All I want to say to people, man, is, "Yo, you see me walking down the street and I got a little bop in my walk, don't think because I've got a bop in my walk I'm trying to be all that. The bop in my walk is because I'm just like you, man. I bop when I walk." Know what I'm saying? I'm proud. If you see me smiling, standing straight up, gold around my neck, it's not because I'm conceited. It's because I'm proud of what I achieved. I made this. I worked hard for this. That's all this is about.
LL Cool JDreams don't have deadlines. I'm thinking of doing bigger and better things and having more fun with it.
LL Cool JWhen I write I consider it a rhyme. In the studio I consider it laying down vocals. Onstage, I'm entertaining; I don't even think about it.
LL Cool JWhat I don't do is try to like become whoever I'm rapping with. The people who go get an LL album want to hear LL.
